Comment:My doctor prescribed this pill for me because I wanted birth control while I was breastfeeding actually my doctor reccommended taking birth control because he said you can get pregnant after six weeks after having a baby if you are not taking anything. Anyway, he prescribed this pill because I was breastfeeding. I stopped breast feeding when my son was five weeks old because I had to go back to work after six weeks. After having my son I bled for three weeks, spotted a couple of days then started bleeding for two weeks which I thought was my period. When I went for my post partum check up my doctor said that was not my period. I did not bleed for a week then I started bleeding again and as of today it has been 21 days. I called and spoke to my nurse and she said it was not the pills. I don't believe that, this is my second child and I did not have this problem with my first child and I took another birth control pill then. I hate this pill and the nurse told me to call back when I am almost done with this pack so they can prescribe another birth control pill for me. I have two weeks left and I hope I do not bleed for the remaining two weeks. This is absolutely the worst pill I have ever taken.Hide Full Comment

Comment:I was given this birth controlafter I delivered my son in sept 09'.I am on this pill, due to me breastfeeding my son. I take it everynight at 10pm. As I was reading everone else's review, I relized it's just not me! I take a shower and while I am rinsing my hair, I keep rinsing and getting rid of the loose hairs and it keeps coming and coming. I think that is the only thing that bother's me about this mini-pill.. No acne, no weight gain or loss, I have not had a period at all which is great. I am not pregnant. After my son turns a year old, I will be seeking a stronger birth control for non-breastfeeding mothers.
Also keep in mind everyone's results are different, and some people take to it really well, and some don't.
4stars for satifaction is due to showering and hair falling out like crazy. I still have a full head of hair by the way...lolHide Full Comment

Comment: Like everyone else here, I too am losing a lot of hair, which is frustrating. Once I am done nursing my daughter, I will most definitely change back to a regular birth-control pill such as Femcon, which worked very well prior to us TTC.

Comment: I have only been taking this for a week. The only things I have noticed is that my stomach cramps up about a half hour after I take it and I am having some mood swings. I decided to take the pill before I go to bed so the cramping won't bother me. Other than that I haven't noticed anything else and am happy with it so far.
